Thats gonna be one screamin van if you can pull it off good! Looks like a sweet way to set it up, if you ever have a problem with the turbos, you would not even have to get out out the truck to work on it lol.
The air/water intercooler is sitting pretty much where I plan on having it. You can see it in that one pic. 47 outlet to the driver's side inlet of the intercooler, and then intercooler outlet "should" be able to snake around to the 38 inlet. I will probably have to cut the floor up to get the 5" downpipe out, and the air intake in.
I know you are kidding, but it is deafening in the van at an idle let alone driving. I did drive to the hardware store and back without the cover on. I won't do that again.
I would try my best to get the W/A core after both stages. Obviously you face the same room constraint that kept me from doing just that, but cooling both stages would be ideal. I will say that temperature control does not seem to be a big deal, but the cooler the better regardless.
Looks like you've got your work cut out for you
I would KILL to have access to the back of my engine like that...
It takes me about an hour to get my downpipe in, if I can coerce the wife into helping me. Otherwise.... it's simply impossible.
Good Luck, and hope it works out for ya. You have so many turbine housing options for that 47 that you will find what you like best even if the 1.39 doesn't give you everything you're after right out of the box.
I bet the heft of that 47 took you by surprise the first time you went to pick it up, and the next million times you held it up in place for mock up. At least you didn't have to stand on the tire hanging over the truck with the damn thing. Did I mention that I would kill for that kind of access to a turbo?
Charles is now thinking about taking a sawzall and custom forming a dog house for the truck. You dont need no stinkin A/C controls in the south Charles, cut it up man....
Charles-Thanks for the input. I was hoping you would chime in.

That is all we van guys have over the f series. Anything in the front to middle is a pain in the nuts.

Got a new non ebv pedestal. Is there non ford non ebv pedestals? This think looks rough.
Anyways, there is a plug on the rear of the pedestal in the oil supply passage. Can I use this to supply oil to the 47? I am planning on welding a fitting on the pan for the drain.
I am ready to start working on this again!! New engine is in. Going to have a #### ton of questions.
Before I start buying pipe and bends, here is what I plan.
38r turbine outlet to 47 turbine inlet-3.5"
3.5" 47 compressor outlet to 3" intercooler to 38r compressor inlet-3.5" (will need a 4" to 3.5" reducing elbow and 2 3.5 to 3" reducing couplers)
The 47 turbine outlet is 5" v band. Where do I find this flange? I am hoping that 5" necked down to 4" after 2 or so feet to meet up with existing 4" exhaust will be good?
The length of the intermediate pipe will be short, and mostly bend. I will need a flex joint of some kind here?
What about wastegate flex joints. I would imagine each should have one?
On edit-the 47 comp inlet is 6". I am hoping a 6" to 5" reducer coupling off the inlet to a filter under the van in a "box" will be good enough?
